Scharmien Zandi is an Austrian-Kurdish actress and performance artist working in contemporary theatre, film, and experimental performance. Her work challenges conventional acting by merging voice, body, and presence into bold, expressive forms.
She has performed at institutions such as Schauspielhaus Wien, Landestheater Niederösterreich, and Tiroler Landestheater, and toured internationally with the award-winning AMOUR FOU. In the short film ARMENIA by Jaqueline Rauter, she played „Alma“ and composed the title music.
Known for her powerful stage presence, vocal intensity, and subtle humor, she is currently collaborating with Glanzstücke, where she brings children’s literature to life through playful, poetic performance on stage.
